Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of multimedia messaging systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to multimedia messaging systems that support complex content items and forms.
  • Multimedia messaging systems have greatly increased in popularity in recent years. Traditionally, individuals have used multimedia messaging systems to transmit basic text messages to other individuals on a network. More recently, however, individuals have begun to transmit much more complex types of information. This can include, for example, texts using individualized fonts and styles, as well as graphics, digital photographs, audio files, video files, and more. These types of information can be transmitted on devices such as portable telephones, personal digital assistants, hand-held personal computers, and other devices.
  • the user may not be aware that the intended recipient of complex multimedia messages has limited capabilities on his or her device, resulting in a great deal of wasted effort in creating multimedia messages with advanced features which will never be accessible by the recipient.
  • the sender prepared particularly a fanciful presentation for the recipient, converting and/or stripping portions of it may make it virtually unrecognizable or otherwise modify it to the point that the sender feels that it would not have even been worthwhile to transmit the presentation in the first place.
  • the sender of the complex multimedia message may not even be informed of the limited recipient capabilities after the multimedia message has been sent.
  • a number of devices include a User Agent Profile (UAProf), an XML or extended markup language file that describes the capabilities of the device.
  • UProf User Agent Profile
  • the sender of a message does not have the capability to even estimate the capabilities of the recipient before the message is transmitted. This creates obvious problems for both parties, as the recipient may not receive an expected message, and the sender may not learn that the message failed to reach the recipient.
  • a small portion such as the text alone
  • the sender may not know that the formats and styles have been stripped, or that the attachments to the files could not be accessed.
  • MMSC multimedia messaging service center
  • these informational messages do nothing to inform the sender that parts of the sent multimedia message may have had to have been converted and/or stripped before reaching the recipient, as well as what (if any) portions of the sent multimedia message were transmitted without stripping and/or converting.
  • Information about content adaptation can be very relevant to the multimedia message sender, as important content may have been dropped during the adaptation process. Even in cases where the dropped content could be later made available to the user, such as through an alternative recipient device, it may be important to the multimedia message sender to know if all of the content had reached the recipient immediately.
  • the present invention provides the sender of a message, particularly a multimedia message, the ability to control the adaptation of a message and/or to obtain information regarding whether any adaptation has occurred, as well as the ability to learn more about potential problems involved with the transmittal of the message.
  • This provides the sender with a number of advantages that were not previously available. For example, the present invention gives the sender a higher degree of control over the message, while also giving the user the ability to tailor the message depending upon the capabilities of the recipient device.
  • the present invention involves a system and method for providing additional information to a multimedia message sender about the status of a recently-transmitted multimedia message.
  • the system involves the use of information in the form of a header or other mechanism regarding whether the message can be converted and/or partially stripped for the receiving device. Additionally, the system and method of the present invention involves providing additional information to the message sender regarding reasons why a message could not be delivered, as well as the nature and consequences of potential adaptation of the original message.
  • the present invention also is directed to a computer program and module that implements the functions described herein.
  • FIG. 1 is a representation of a multimedia messaging system network including a plurality of devices for transmitting and receiving messages according to one embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a flow diagram showing the process of determining whether a receiving device can accept a message without modification or adaptation and how the message is treated depending upon whether the message can be so accepted according to one embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 3 is a flow diagram showing the process of determining whether a receiving device can accept a message without modification or adaptation, and upon not being able to make such a determination, how the message is treated;
  • FIG. 4 is a flow diagram showing the process of informing the transmitting device as to whether the message was successfully sent and the level of adaptation necessary;
  • FIG. 5 is a front view of a generic portable device that can serve as a transmitting device according to the principles of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a generic multimedia messaging network 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the multimedia messaging network 100 is arranged to allow communication between a transmitting device 110 and a receiving device 120 , as well as other secondary devices 160 .
  • MMSC multimedia messaging service center 130
  • FIG. 1 shows the transmittal among the transmitting device 110 , the multimedia messaging service center 130 and the receiving device 120 as being generally direct. However, the transmittal of messages in reality will usually occur through a variety of local exchanges, represented generically at 140 and 150 .
  • FIG. 5 shows a sample transmitting device 110 that can be used in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
  • the transmitting device 110 can take virtually any form and is not intended to be limited to one particular type of mechanism.
  • the transmitting device 110 in FIG. 5 comprises a body 500 with a memory unit 510 and a processor 520 contained therein and are operatively connected to each other.
  • a plurality of input buttons 530 are provided, as well as a display 540 .
  • the transmitting device 110 can include either a wired connection 560 , such as a USB or IEEE connection, or a wireless connection 550 to transmit and receive messages.
  • the memory unit 510 and the processor 520 can be used to generate the message to be transmitted.
  • a new header field is added to the M-send.req protocol data unit (PDU) for the transmitting device 110 in order to ultimately provide additional control for the transmittal device over the message to be transmitted to the receiving device 120 .
  • This header specifies whether the multimedia messaging service center 130 is permitted to perform any content adaptation to the message being transmitted. If the header indicates that content adaptation is not permitted, the multimedia messaging service center 130 then determines whether the receiving device 120 is capable of receiving the message without adaptation. The answer to this question is transmitted back to the transmitting device 110 using the M-Send.conf PDU. The transmitting device 110 is then able to inform the user whether the message can be transmitted in a completely unmodified form.
  • FIG. 2 is a representation of how the transmitting device 110 , the multimedia messaging service center 130 and the receiving device 120 interact according one embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a simplified case where both the transmitting device 110 and the recipient device 120 belong to the same multimedia messaging service center 130 . In many instances, the transmitting device 110 and the recipient device 120 belong to different multimedia messaging service centers 130 .
  • the user transmits a message from the transmitting device 110 to the multimedia messaging service center 130 .
  • the multimedia messaging service center 130 determines if the M-send.req PDU includes a header that would permit the message to be adapted or modified.
  • the multimedia messaging service center modifies the message as necessary and transmits the message to the receiving device 120 at step 230 .
  • the modifications are based upon the capabilities of the receiving device 120 in the UAProf. It should also be noted that, in the event the transmitting device 110 and the recipient device 120 belong to different multimedia messaging service centers 130 , the processing depicted in FIG. 2 will occur in the recipient's multimedia messaging service center.
  • the multimedia messaging service center 130 determines whether the receiving device 120 is capable of receiving, processing and exhibiting the message in an unmodified form. This occurs at step 240 . If the receiving device 120 is capable of receiving, processing and exhibiting the message without modification, then the multimedia messaging service center 130 transmits the message to the receiving device 120 at step 250 for such processing and display. It is also possible for step 240 to occur before the multimedia messaging service center 130 determines if the M-send.req PDU includes a header that would permit the message to be adapted or modified, with substantially the same result.
  • the system of the present invention can also automatically rout the unadapted message to a secondary device, shown at 160 in FIG. 1 , if necessary.
  • a secondary device shown at 160 in FIG. 1
  • This can be accomplished through the use of a separate address field in the M-Send.req PDU.
  • a separate address field can be added for the secondary address and the MMSC can be configured for using this separate address field as discussed herein.
  • the multimedia messaging service center 130 determines whether the receiving device 120 is capable of receiving the message in an unadapted form, shown at 240 in FIG. 2 . If the receiving device 120 is not able to receive the message in an unadapted form, then the multimedia messaging service center 130 determines whether there is a separate address field in the M-Send.req PDU for transmitting the message to a secondary address. This is represented at 260 in FIG. 2 . If no such alternate address exists, then at 270 the multimedia messaging service center 130 informs the transmitting device 110 that the message cannot be delivered to the receiving device 120 without modification.
  • the multimedia messaging service center 130 determines whether the secondary device 160 can accept the message without modification. This can be done using the UAProf of the secondary device in a manner similar to that discussed herein regarding the primary recipient device. If the secondary device 160 cannot so accept the message, then at step 310 the multimedia messaging service center 130 informs the transmitting device 110 that the message cannot be delivered to either the receiving device 120 or the secondary device without modification. If the secondary device can accept, process and exhibit the message without modification, then at step 290 the multimedia messaging service center 130 transmits the message to the secondary device 160 corresponding to the alternate address. The multimedia messaging service center 130 , in one embodiment of the invention, also informs the transmitting device 110 that the message is being so redirected. The secondary device 160 then displays the message at step 300 .
  • the transmitting device 110 is informed of the redirection after the message is transmitted to the secondary device 160 .
  • these two steps could occur in the opposite order or could occur simultaneously.
  • the address of the secondary device or addresses of the string of secondary devices can be entered by the user similar to the way the user would enter the address of the primary recipient device.
  • the M-Send.req PDU header could indicate that it is acceptable to have the message modified for the secondary device 160 only, in which case such a determination would not be necessary and the message could be transmitted to the secondary device 160 regardless of potential modification.
  • the separate address field can also be used in situations where the receiving device 120 is not multimedia messaging system-capable.
  • the separate address could be an electronic mail account or another device address owned by the same individual as who owns the receiving device 120 .
  • the transmitting device 110 can also be informed that the message has been transmitted to the secondary device 160 .
  • a default location such as an electronic mail address or a server in the network with Internet access, could be used in place of the secondary device when the unmodified message can be transmitted.
  • the modified message may be sent to the receiving device 120 and, depending on the provided service, the unmodified message can be transmitted to the default address.
  • FIG. 3 shows the process for this determination.
  • the user transmits a message from the transmitting device 110 to the multimedia messaging service center 130 .
  • the multimedia messaging service center 130 determines if the M-send.req PDU includes a header that would permit the message to be adapted or modified.
  • the multimedia messaging service center 130 cannot determine whether the receiving device 120 can accept, process and exhibit the message without modification, then at step 225 the message is transmitted to the message recipient's multimedia messaging service center, which then performs the steps discussed herein and depicted in FIG. 2 .
  • the present invention also involves the use of a new “reason” field within a multimedia messaging system delivery report that is transmitted to the transmitting device 110 after the message is transmitted to the receiving device 120 .
  • the process for accomplishing this task is shown generally in FIG. 4 .
  • FIG. 4 shows the process of providing this type of information as separate from the process of determining the capabilities of the receiving device 120 and the consequences thereof, shown in FIGS. 2-3 .
  • FIGS. 2-3 show that the processes shown in FIGS. 2-4 could easily be implemented simultaneously as a single process for the transmitting device 110 and the receiving device 120 .
  • the transmitting device 110 transmits a message to the multimedia messaging service center 130 at step 400 .
  • the multimedia messaging service center 130 processes and modifies the message as necessary depending upon the capabilities of the receiving device 120 .
  • the message is then transmitted to the receiving device 120 , where it is exhibited to the user of the receiving device 120 if possible at step 420 .
  • information is transmitted back to the transmitting device 110 regarding the transmitted message, including at least one of a plurality of messages in a multimedia messaging system delivery report that is transmitted back to the transmitting device 110 .
  • the delivery report is generated by the recipient's multimedia messaging service center 130 .
  • a multimedia messaging system delivery report is sent to the transmitting device 110 noting that no content adaptation was necessary. If, however, the message could not even be exhibited to the recipient in any form, then at step 450 a multimedia messaging system delivery report is sent to the transmitting device 110 informing the user of the transmitting device 110 as to why the message transmittal failed.
  • the multimedia messaging system delivery report could provide information such as the fact that the receiving device 120 did not support the content, that the message was too large, that the receiving device address was unresolved, or that the receiving device 120 did not support the multimedia messaging system. This type of information aids the user of the transmitting device 110 in determining why the message could not be transmitted on the receiving device 120 , possibly helping the user in altering his behavior in sending messages.
  • a multimedia messaging system delivery report is transmitted to the transmitting device 110 providing information about the modifications that were necessary.
  • the information transmitted back to the transmitting device 110 could include but is not limited to information concerning whether minor or major adaptation was necessary, the types of content that had to be stripped from the message, and the amount of material that had to be stripped from the message. This type of information could be especially helpful to a user who sends multimedia messages that have a large file size, as will often occur when audio and/or video files are included.
  • users of portable devices are billed based upon the size of the messages that are sent, and a user who is billed in this manner can save a considerable amount of money by not sending video files when they cannot be received by some other recipients.
  • some of the information provided in the delivery report can be optional, with the user of the transmitting device 110 able to decide what information he or she would like to be made aware of.
  • the system and method of the present invention provides the sender of a multimedia message with much more control over the integrity of the transmittal than has been conventionally available. In the event that the user believes that it is important that the message not be altered in any form, he or she simply can deny the ability to alter the message. Additionally, the present invention provides the sender of a message more information in situations where the message is ultimately not delivered successfully in exactly the same form as it was originally intended.
  • the present invention can be incorporated into virtually any type of supportable module and can take the form of a computer software program that is programmed to execute the functions described herein.
